About

Field of Study: Oceanography

Professor Moore’s interests lie in the study of paleoceanography and paleoclimate change. His research involves the stratigraphy of ocean and lake sediments and makes use of seismic stratigraphy, lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy (Radiolaria) to explore the history of the earth. He has been an active participant in scientific ocean drilling programs throughout his career. His studies encompass records ranging in age from the Holocene to the early Cenozoic and recently focus on the Eocene – Oligocene boundary interval.
